Do you know that you can put your search criteria right in the WWHOW! URL? Using a URL technique could be a very convenient way to send a link to your friend that covers multiple postings, for example you want to tell your friend that you found a lot of great deals on shoes in San Francisco…

Hi Linda, take a look at http://wwhow.com/what/shoes/where/9411 – I found a lot of great deals on shoes at that site.  Some savings are over 75%! Bye for now…

You also can shorten the URL using http://tinyurl.com or other service.  That makes it easier to do short twitter style postings.

WWHOW has a smart URL structure that allows you to specify What and Where in the following form –

http://wwhow.com/what/<Category>/where/<Address>

http://wwhow.com/what/<Category>

http://wwhow.com/where/<Address>

Note –

You do not need to put triangle brackets, just specify what you are looking for and replace the <Category> in the URL.  You can use any keyword as <Category>.

<Address> field is very similar – just put the address of the place and WWHO! will display everything in the vicinity of the address.  WWHOW! is using Google maps API to display deals on the map, so everything that is good for Google maps is good for WWHOW! :)   For example the address could be

SFO

San Francisco

San Francisco, CA

94111

100 Pine Street, San Francisco, CA

Pine and Bush, San Francisco, CA

Another thing you can do it to see a deals posted by a specific user just enter

http://wwhow.com/who/<User ID>

<User ID> should be exact user ID of the person who’s deals you’d like to see, BTW, some of them quite prolific, e.g.

http://www.wwhow.com/who/bianca13

OK, that’s it for now, wave fun with URLs!
